This far too infrequently emphasized fact has eluded many. The other key design aspect of the Volt which never gets proper attention is that unlike most other hybrids it has a single drivetrain – electric. The Volt’s gas engine acting only as a generator to maintain sufficient electric charge eliminates the drivetrain switching that occurs in most hybrid designs. This simplifies operations and maintainence costs and should bode well for a longer life as a driveable vehicle.

My 2012 Volt which I’ve driven for nearly yours is the only car I’ve ever loved to own (I’m over 60). That the 2016 Volt will improve upon it should only make every potential Camry/Prius/Accord/Civic/Escort/car buyer purchase one instead.
